Africa's About to Retire. Are You Ready to Say Goodbye?

October 28, 2015

New in the shop: Now you can choose from four color finishes when you add metal eyelets to your notebook! Pick from shiny or antiqued, in either silver or gold tone, to complement your dye and elastic colors. They're brand new today and I've got plenty of all four options, so knock yourself out customizing the perfect traveler's notebook.

New States Coming This Week: Wisconsin, New Mexico, and more. Which do you want to see next? (You can always order any state here.)

Make your purchase count: I'm continuing to donate half the purchase price from all Texas State Lines traveler's notebooks to support my friend Rebekah's wildfire recovery fund (more on that in last week's blog post). Thank you for partnering with me! This could be a wonderful way for you to present a meaningful gift to the Texans on your holiday list this year, and I know it will go a long way toward helping out Rebekah and her husband Cody.

This week, I'll be retiring the Heart For Africa traveler's notebook, and sending the final contribution check to my friend Drew in time for his mission trip to Uganda in November. Make sure you order yours before it goes away on Saturday. Then, I hope you'll be as excited as I am to partner on a project for November and December: Haiti Border Crossings notebooks to support an adoption from the Caribbean country!

Red Pen Postcard Project: Have you sent me a postcard from your city or state? Pop one in the mail, and I promise to send you a treat in return, plus enter you in a giveaway, too! Get my address and see more details here.

Coming events: The flash sale on Instagram was so much fun that I want to do it again, but this time for all you folks who follow along on Facebook. Watch over there for specifics on Thursday so you can snap up your state on a no waiting, ready-to-ship traveler's notebook, complete with free shipping and discounts. My flash sales are definitely the place to find the lowest prices I'll ever offer publicly, so make sure you're there to snatch up a bargain.

Remember too that when the Red Pen Travelers Instagram following reaches 500, I'll have a nice big giveaway for y'all over there. It'll pay off to pay attention!
